Tell your Senators S 517 curtails all renewable energy and nationalizes nuclear power, once again distorting the electricity market in favor of dangerous, unwanted nuclear energy. |
URGENT ALERT-ALERT -ALERT
TELL YOUR SENATORS TO OPPOSE S. 517 THE SENATE ENERGY BILL!
Capitol Switchboard: 202-224-3121; ask for your Senators' offices or find emails and local contact information at www.senate.gov.
TAKE ACTION TODAY--THE VOTE COULD BE THIS WEEK! If we put enough pressure on Senators the vote could come later or not at all.
Either way, we need to put pressure on Senators to vote against this bill. The Democrats need cover to vote against it-let's give it to them.
Tell your Senators S 517 curtails all renewable energy and nationalizes nuclear power, once again distorting the electricity market in favor of dangerous, unwanted nuclear energy. At a time when nuclear reactors are (finally) an officially recognized terrorist target, this bill would use taxpayer money and federal land and government resources to "deploy" a new generation of nuclear reactors. Tell them this energy policy is more mid-20th century than 21st century, and that we deserve better.
For more information call Cindy @ NIRS 202-328-0002. Thank you. |

This bill is a huge gimme to the nuclear industry at a time where the President Select says we don't have enough money to pay for anything that helps the poor, sick, and needy.
The direct link to more info from NIRS on this giant barrel o' pork is:

This is a good time to call Sen. Durbin and Sen. Fitzgerald to ask them to oppose this bill. |
